ADOR Ends NewJeansDanielle’s Contract, Reportedly Files 43 Billion-Won Damages Suit

The decision follows a court ruling that upheld ADOR’s contracts through 2029.

Overview

  • ADOR said it determined continued work with Danielle was impossible and notified her of the termination of her exclusive contract.
  • The label said it will seek penalties and damages from Danielle and pursue legal accountability for a family member and former CEO Min Hee-jin; local reports say a 43.09 billion won civil suit was filed in Seoul court.
  • Hanni decided to return to ADOR after talks, Minji remains in negotiations, and Haerin and Hyein had already agreed to continue activities with the label.
  • ADOR asserted the members had long received distorted information that fueled misunderstandings and said it plans a future briefing to address the dispute.
  • Earlier court actions included injunctions and a 1 billion won per-violation penalty for unauthorized activities, followed by an Oct. 30 ruling that kept the members’ contracts in force.
